Casey Johnson Died Of Diabetes Ketoacidosis
Johnson & Johnson heiress Casey Johnson struggled to control her almost lifelong battle against diabetes for more than 20 years — and the disease ultimately killed her. Johnson died of “diabetic ketoacidosis” — described as “an absolute shortage of insulin” — the Los Angeles Coroner announced on Thursday.
The cause of death was “natural.”
The troubled socialite, who was allegedly engaged to marry wacked-out reality star Tila Tequila, was found dead in her Los Angeles home on Jan. 4. She was 30. Johnson left behind her 3-year-old adopted daughter Ava, who is currently being cared for by Johnson’s mother Sale Johnson.
Earlier today, the L.A. Coroner’s Office also announced the cause of death of actress Brittany Murphy. Murphy, 32, died of a combination of multiple drug intoxication, pneumonia, and iron deficiency anemia.

No she dies cause she constantly got drunk and didn’t take her insulin.

I’m betting that she was on Rdna Insulin and couldn’t control her diabetes because she couldn’t recognize low blood sugars and always ended up in the emergency room.
To solve this she finally fell in to the trap of knowing that she could solve that problem by reducing and then finally stopped taking her insulin to have a somewhat normal life without being blamed for all of the out of control situations.
rDNA Insulin has been known for this for years and it still goes on because it works OK for so many people.
Her life was Hell, as it is for all those with this problem of no recognition of lows on rDNA Insulin.
